I've tried almost everything I can think of but arnt getting anywhere!! Youtube downloaders wont work, and neither will general downloaders.

It would appear that the video is in a number of small fragments that the player is (somehow) putting together. Each fragment is about 1-1.5mb, I'm using a chrome plugin called FVD Downloader. I can see and download the fragments, but need to know more in order to stitch them back together.

I have previously found flash disassemblers that let you open the swf and see whats in it, you might have some luck doing that.

Internet Download Manager will do it. I just tried and it's downloading the full video in one go.

Edit to say that it's 1.419GB when downloaded at 720p. It's very good quality.

I've uploaded a 180p version to Rapidgator for you. To play it in Windows Media Player you will( I thnk) need the codecs.
